Lingerie Trends from Elle's Boudoir
It's been a trend in other parts of the world for some time now; but truly risque lingerie has taken its time to hit Australia's mainstream.
Fluoro bandaid stuck to your forehead
This is possibly the strangest street trend I've come across since I encountered a few people walking each other on leashes... but I digress - the latest 'thing' to hit Melbourne streets are Fluoro bandaids stuck to one's forehead.
I kid you not, today I witnessed not one, but two tweens walking the streets with the brightest bandaids ever to be produced (in fact so bright, I think they may have been irradiated at Chernobyl) plastered to their heads.
2007 Men's Fashion Trends to Buy In To
Belgian fashion designer Kris van Assche has given Details magazine his two pence on 'his guidelines for looking good'.
Some key gems:
Ballet Flats On The Street
Bill Cunningham at the NY Times wrote this cute little piece on the continuing trend of ballet shoes:
"The snow hadn't disappeared from the streets of New York and already the first trend of spring could be seen up and down Madison Avenue: the revival of flat ballet-style shoes. In the 1950s, they were a popular alternative to spindly high heels; designers of calf-length full skirts showed their fashions with ballet slippers made by Capezio. At the time, such shoes were not commercially available. But today many manufacturers produce variations of the ballet flat. Not to be outdone, a carriage horse in Central Park showed off its own spring shoes: hooves painted with purple glitter."
How not to wear: the 80s trend
Elements of the 80s are definitely back in fashion...
But if it ever gets as bad as this again, we'll know it's gone too far!

Men's Bag Fashion in Tokyo
Pingmag asked trend hunter Rene Kurita to go to the fashionable neighbourhoods of Tokyo to document "men wearing (women's) handbags, pocketbooks and soft purses."
Rene says:
Why do boys wear bags at all? All you need is money, keys, phone - right? Pockets in your jeans will do? Wrong! One obvious reason is practicability here! If you ever lived in Tokyo, one thing is for sure: everybody spends a lot of time travelling on the train from home to the centre of things (think about the greater metropolitan area of Tokyo - this is not Paris!). That's why people might not come home after work before sports or party activities (and some won't even come home for days...).[ Click to read 'Men's Bag Fashion in Tokyo' ]Shaggy F/W 2007 2008 Trend?

Written by Former Member on 25.02.07Fashionista reports:
"The list of designers with cell phones just got longer: Italian virtuoso Giambattista Valli will get his own roaming signal at Paris Fashion Week, thanks to Nokia.
Mr. Valli follows Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Diane Von Furstenberg, Betsey Johnson, and Baby Phat in designing a new phone and accessories. The phone comes in black or pink, with a satin bow-sewn case and a silver skull charm to dangle from the antenna. It debuts before the Valli show in Paris, and will retail for about $300 in Europe (and eventually, of course, here).
